Petunia comes to us from a rural WV shelter, where she was an owner surrender.  We think she's a Whippet / Rat Terrier mix, but there might be some Boston Terrier or Jack Russell Terrier in there... you be the judge.  She's a healthy 14 pounds, has lots of energy, and generally acts very much like a puppy.  She's in a foster home with other dogs (large & small) and she gets along well with everyone.  She loves to play pull-tug, loves toys, and loves to give kisses.  She's a super friendly girl, and greets everyone with a wagging tail.  She can be a little pushy / alpha when it comes to playing.  She demands that other dogs play with her.  She knows the command "sit," too!  She is very food motivated.  We don't know how she is with cats.  She absolutely needs a fence, as she LOVES to run off-leash, and she runs fast, like a greyhound!

The ideal home for Petunia would have a large, fenced-in yard area where she could run off-leash  and get the daily exercise that her breed demands.  An electric or electronic fence is not an option for Petunia. She'd also do best with a canine sibling to play with, run with, and just have fun.  It would be disappointing to have her on-leash for the rest of her life.   She will not back down from anything and has a high level of confidence and absolutely no fear.  She is house trained, and typically dances near the door when she needs to go outside.
